  1. Note. n = 56 for typical development, n = 29 for mild condition, and n = 27 for moderate/severe condition. Higher scores indicate poorer functioning unless specified otherwise. A η 2 of .01 is a small effect, .06 is a medium effect, and .14 is a large effect [50].
  2. *p-value is significant correcting for family-wise error rate (p < .025 for HADS, p < .025 for measures of marital strain, and p < .017 for PedsQL FIM).
  3. aHigher scores indicate better functioning. b n = 45 for typical development, n = 27 for mild, and n = 24 for moderate/severe.
